Three mops waited on the porch railing of a high school in San Francisco, California.
They waited outside a door, as if in trouble for a classroom fight.
Perhaps the two gray haired mops fought the blue haired mop, and now all three were in trouble.

A girl on a pogo stick was created from an electric pipe emerging from the ground and terminating at a metal box. With just a bit of paint, the dull box was turned into a delightful girl on a pogo stick.

A metal bumper, intended to protect the corner of a concrete building, had been converted into a delightful image of a boy posed in a hand stand.
Sadly he had posed so long that a plant grew over one hand, and dirt had given him the appearance of a tough beard.

A later floral mural was painted on that wall. It carefully incorporated the earlier commercial mural into itself.

Twin mops with blue hair hung out on the porch railing of a High School in San Francisco, California. Both mops appeared angry as if upset by some high school affront recently felt.

The artist's signature was at the base of the mural. It indicated that the mural was by, "A.Lynn," or Amanda Lynn.
The word, "Whaio" was sketched in pink below the signature. It was either the title of the mural, or was added later as a bit of graffiti.
We chose to interpret it as the title. There was no indication of when (in what year) the mural was painted.

The hair was styled up high in a formal manner. Many tiny pink bows held the hair in place. One long curl fell down behind the skeletal neck of the woman. Notice a squirt of red spray paint decorated the metal to the right of the mural.

An image of a woman, apparently bound, and reduced to a skeleton inside her clothes. The mural is narrow because it was painted on a narrow concrete pillar that formed part of the entrance to Alioto's Garage on Folsom Street.

It was beautiful day in Santa Cruz and I had been photographing the sea lions when this pelican landed a few feet away on the pier railing.
If there was ever a compelling visual argument for birds being the modern descendants of dinosaurs, it's the pelican. I could easily imagine them flying just out of reach above the snapping jaws of some aquatic sea monster.

For an unforgettable wildlife experience, I highly recommend the Elkhorn Slough Safari in Moss Landing. We saw over one hundred sea otters, almost eighty harbor seals and dozens of sea lions very up close and personal.
This photo shows a raft of about eighty sea otters. Raft is the official label for a bunch of otters hanging out together, looking like a raft.
In addition to sea mammals, I also photographed sixteen species of birds. The trip was two hours of wildlife bliss. There were a few . . . |

These two pelicans were one pair of dozens loitering around the marina, all waiting for a fishy opportunity. The one on the left was an immature bird which had not grown into its adult plumage.

This bedraggled juvenile black-crowned night heron was perched on the dock near the boat we were going to use. I hoped it wasn't a harbinger of how our trip would turn out.
